Lol I'm generally anti-prison, unless it's for serious crimes (mainly mala in se). Engaging in sexual acts with a lil hot mama who consented/initiated does not fall in the serious crime category for me.

ETA: and that's assuming he did it, which he did not, as far as the law is concerned

um yeah r kelly needs to be under the jail right now.. i can't believe he got off.. and for the argument to be "there aint no mole on his back in the video" that is absolutely crazy.. for example i have a mole on my pinky finger that wasn't there a few yrs ago..does that mean i was a different person then? the defense was very weak from what i've read and i am very surprised that the jury watched that tape multiple times and didn't say for one sec.. he raped a child..

as far as i'm concerned.. r kelly is a rapist.. a child molester.. and he needs to be punished for what he did.. sure the girl may have been "fast".. but no 13 yr old deserves to be pissed on and enticed to suck the male private part of a grown ass man (pardon my crassness but i'm pissed).. that *&^% is sick.. it is absolutely disgusting.. to know that he was getting off on her pubescent body all the while making songs about believing and achieving and *&^% has me floored..

he's a miscreant and the wack jury fell for the okedoke.. and brother no good esq needs to go down as well..

Prosecutors had argued Kelly's goddaughter was as young as 13 when the raunchy sex tape was made. But the goddaughter, who is now 23, told a grand jury that she was not the young woman on the tape and did not testify at trial.

While some jurors told reporters they believed Robert Kelly was indeed the man on the tape, they said they acquitted him because they were not convinced the young woman in question was his goddaughter.

"Mostly we focused on the girl," one juror who declined to be named told reporters. "Was this (his goddaughter)? We couldn't determine that."
